Happy to help with whatever I can. I've got a big project on my own tractor going. Dealer says I'll probably need to split the tractor and the total job is usually around 13-16 hours for the dealer techs.....

I worked as an automotive mechanic for a number of years......but this is still going to be a long one

DX33. If you look for the thread "shrapnel in gear case" you'll find what I've got going on

Still no luck I have checked everything and chased every wire! Done great for almost 20 hours then it died on me twice in less than a min. Used it for three hours after that and not a problem? After it dies its takes a min or so to get power back to the fuel shut off solenoid. Could a relay cause this? Frustrated and confused!

Unfortunately, intermittant problems really are tough to chase. I would start by seeing if power is vetting interrupted to the fuel cut off. Maybe wire in a light?

It will shut off if its in neutral also? It is very random it will run 10 hours plus and not die then some times it will die 3 or 4 times in a row in less than five minutes then run fine the next ten hours! Could a diode cause this? I've tested all my relays checked all my safety switches and traced all my wiring and have still yet to find the problem?
